Paul Revere's Ride--Trivia

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

On the eighteenth of April in seventy-five,
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year...."


Those lines from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem have been memorized by thousands of American school children over the years. I remember, as a junior high school student in Indiana, when the whole class was required by our English teacher to memorize this entire poem, along with many others.

I still recall various lines from the poems I memorized back then.

Now, I have a couple of trivia questions to ask you. To know if you have the right answers, comment on this post. I will then tell you if you are correct.

On what day of the week did April 18, 1775, fall?

What did Paul Revere say at the end of his famous ride?
